Our upcoming 50th anniversary has prompted our organization to engage in reflection on our past, and to think critically for our future.

Today, on December 21, 2021, the Winter Solstice and National Homeless Persons Day of Remembrance, was the grand opening of Unity Commons.

Interfaith Works, MultiCare Capital Medical Center, Providence St. Peter Hospital, and Thurston County Public Health and Social Services are partnering to provide people experiencing homelessness a safe place to fully recover after they are discharged from the hospital, with the goal of reducing readmissions and freeing up much-needed hospital beds, the organizations announced today.

Paths to Understanding knows that real, human relationships change hearts. To meet a Muslim and hear their story, to share food with a Muslim, or even to pray shoulder to shoulder with a Muslim builds relationship. And while we might think of relationships as social affiliation, it is also an awareness of our interconnectedness at a spiritual level.

Whether in the mountains or a temple, in a circle of dancers or in a silent meditation, humans look to experiences which connect them with others, with themselves, with the world, and with the transcendent.

Interfaith Works is happy to announce that Corey Passons has joined the IW team as the new Program Manager for Interfaith Relations.

We've been hearing a lot lately around social media that as a community, we need to be harder with negative consequences for people who "don't want treatment" or "don't want to help themselves" or "refuse the help they are offered".

Please come, eat, share memories, and celebrate the life of this beautiful person who was so full of light and love.
